Brandi Carlile - Sugartooth Acoustic Live Chords

[Verse]
E
He wasn't really known for breaking the rules
                         E7           A
When he arrived in the second year of my high school
E
He wasn't so much of a twist of fate
       G
As a short turn up from a Southern state
        E
He was born with a sweet tooth he couldn't beat
                  E7            A
Always trying to find himself something sweet
E
All that he found was a trouble and me
          G
Or maybe trouble just found him

[Verse 2]
E
It was hard to hide that his heart had scars
                  E7          A
He would stay up late talking to the stars
E
People tried to blame him for making bad choices
     G
When he was only listening to the voices
E
And looking for some kind of deeper truth
                           E7        A
Between the lines and the Bible and living proof
E
There's no point now to judge him in vain
        G
If you haven't been there, you don't know the pain

[Chorus 1]
E
He was a liar, but not a fraud
G                       E
Living proof that there was no God
A
Just the Devil, stiff as a rod
  G           A     E
A slave to a sugartooth

E
His life became more than he could take
               E7        A
He found a bad habit he couldn't break
E
Nothing could tame him and nothing could hold him
G
He only took the pills when the doctor told him
E
Looking to help for the something sweet
            E7           A
To make his life feel as incomplete
E
What in the hell are you gonna do
G
When the world has made its mind up about you?

[Chorus 2]
E
He was a liar, but not a fraud
G                       E
Living proof that there was no God
A
Just the Devil, stiff as a rod
  G           A     E
A slave to a sugartooth

Dm
He wanted to be a better man
           G                       E
Then life kicked him down like an old tin can
A
He would give you the shirt on his back
   G          A   E
If not for a sugartooth

[Verse 3]
E
They found him lying on his bed
                   E7         A
With a gun in his hand and a quiet head
E
His broken heart, now, is finally gone
G
But I know that he had to hurt for too long
E
To think he had fought it all on his own
                  E7         A
Just to lose the battle and die alone
E
After so many years of feeling lost
    G               A    E
He finally made his way back home

[Verse 4]
      E
And I heard they put what was left in a box
                  E7           A
And took it to a place called Jesus Rock
E
And scattered him all over jagged mound
      G
As a symbol to all that the piece had been found
E
But not for a sign is left behind
                   E7       A
With a hand stuck reaching back in time
E
To a place in which you can never unwind
           G
I hope he found something so sweet

[Chorus 2]
E
He was a liar, but not a fraud
G                       E
Living proof that there was no God
A
Just the Devil, stiff as a rod
  G           A     E
A slave to a sugartooth

Dm
He wanted to be a better man
           G                       E
But life kicked him down like an old tin can
A
He would give you the shirt on his back
   G          A   E
If not for a sugartooth

[Outro]
E       E7   A    E       G        A    E
Ooh, oo-oh, ooh, ooh a slave to a sugartooth
E       E7   A    E       G        A    E
Ooh, oo-oh, ooh, ooh a slave to a sugartooth
E       E7   A    E       G        A    E
Ooh, oo-oh, ooh, ooh a slave to a sugartooth
E       E7   A    E       G        A    E
Ooh, oo-oh, ooh, ooh a slave to a sugartooth
